Lovely boutique hotel over famous restaurant/bar
Pros:

Super friendly staff, we could check in early. Boutique recently refurbished modern room. Very comfortable large bed, nice seating area, storage space, tea and coffee trolley. Loved the colours in the bathroom - we had a super size bathtub, too. Quiet room despite looking to busy street. The restaurant and bar is fantastic. Highly recommend both, would be back!

Nette Location unweit des Stadtzentrums mit guter Öffiverbindung ins Zentrum
Pros:

Sehr nettes kleines Boutiquehotel.Sehr nettes und freundliches Personal. Hotel mit zugehörigem Pub,the Cannyman‘s, tolles Frühstück, besonders hervorzuheben die rolls und Eier in verschiedenen Varianten. Abendessen sehr zu empfehlen, ebenso das Bier. Die Nähe zur Haltestelle der Öffentlichen Busse nur 1 Minute im 15minutentakt. Jederzeit wieder!
